Fifteen new English literacy tutors completed their training at the Aquinas Literacy Center over the weekend of April 28, getting them ready to assist English language learners through this popular program. The Friday night and Saturday sessions are part of a total of 13 hours of training each tutor undergoes, resulting in their certification to teach English as a Second Language learners.
The training program was the last of the 2017-2018 academic year, with the next session planned for September 2018. This year, Aquinas trained 90 new volunteer tutors.
Although the center continues to grow, a backlog of new pupils are always waiting in the wings for their chance at instruction. Once tutors complete their training, they each receive a six-month membership to ProLiteracy, and they're cleared to conduct one-on-one training with learners. All tutoring is conducted in English, and knowledge of a second language is not required to be a tutor.
Anyone who is interested in getting more information or signing up to be a tutor should contact Poulin at (773) 927-0512 or sabrina@aquinasliteracycenter.org.
